Restoring Sight, Preventing Blindness & Empowering Global Communities

Aligned with global vision leaders

Our global initiatives align with the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), demonstrating our commitment to creating a better, more equitable world long-term:

Vision is a fundamental human right. We strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of circumstance, has access to corneal transplantation.

When we help someone receive a corneal transplant, we're not just facilitating a medical procedure. We're giving them back their independence, their confidence, and often, their whole world. And we're doing this in places where this kind of care wasn't even possible before.

In addition to providing tissue for transplantation and research, we also educate and empower.

Our training programs for local surgeons and eye bank technicians foster sustainable change in eye care, building a skilled global workforce and imparting the skills needed to help curb vision loss within these communities. When we train a local surgeon or an eye bank technician, that person goes on to help countless others in their community. It's like starting a chain reaction of positive change. They learn the latest techniques, the best practices and then they pass that expertise on to others. 

Vision impairment costs the global economy $411 billion every year. That's because when people can't see, they often can't work.

Every time we help restore someone's sight, they can regain their independence, return to work, support their family and contribute to their community. In fact, research has shown that for every dollar invested in health across developing countries, up to four dollars go back into the local economy.

While vision loss is debilitating, it doesn't affect everyone equally. Some communities have been left behind when it comes to eye care. But we're changing that, one region at a time.

Take our partners in Pakistan, for example. Together, we're building a network of eye banks where there were none before. It's about making sure that no matter where you live or what resources you have, you can get the care you need. 

We're helping communities become self-sufficient.

We don't just come in, do our work and leave. Rather, we help build local eye banking systems that last. We work side-by-side with local teams, understanding their needs, respecting their culture and empowering them to create solutions that work for their community.
